What is the experimental evidence in support of the diea that electronic energies in an atom are quantized?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that the electrons are fast moving microparticles which have certain specific energies while revolving around the nucleus of an atom. Since electrons can lose enegry only in fixed amounts or bundles called quanta and can not do so in the ground state of an atom, this means that electronic energies are quantised. For more details consult section 2.21.

Bohr's model enables us to derive the energy of an electron revolving in nth orbit. For H-atom and hydrogen like species : E_n = (2 pi^2 m e^4 Z^2)/(n^2 h^2) or = - (13.6 Z^2)/(n^2) eV "atom"^(-1) = (21.8 xx 10^(-19) Z^2)/(n^2) J "atom"^(-1) This helps to calculate the radius of an orbit, r_n = (0.529 n^2)/(Z) Å Bohr's model also explains the occurrence of different spectral lines. The wavelengths of difference line can be given as : 1/lambda = barv ("in" cm^(-1)) = R (1/(n_1^2) - 1/(n_2^2)) R = 109678 cm^(-1) and n_2 > n_1 .
